Rapids Land Record-Spanning Whittaker | MLS News

The Colorado Rapids just shattered their transfer record by landing winger Morgan Whittaker from Middlesbrough for $10.7 million — a Designated Player signed through 2030 with an option for 2031. Whittaker, a prolific English attacker with 59 goals and 28 assists in 258 games, brings elite firepower after helping Middlesbrough reach the Championship Playoff Final last season. This bold move follows the trade of top scorer Rafael Navarro and pairs Whittaker with new signings Ibrahim Sadiq and Sayed Abu Farkhi, signaling a major offensive rebuild. With the Rapids in seventh place in the West and pushing for playoffs, this infusion of talent could be the spark they need to make a deep postseason run.
